Crop Duster Octet2011

One of the most iconic sequences in the history of Hollywood cinema (from Alfred Hitchcock's NORTH BY NORTHWEST) is deconstructed and reassembled to illuminate the patterns, rhythms and choreography of the original so as to break through and make for an eight banded kinetic tour de force. As the piece progresses the temporal displacement of each band gets closer and closer until they all unite into a remarkable grand finale.

Very cool re-cut of the North By Northwest cropduster scene by making a grid of eight lines, each of which starts the scene a few seconds later than the one above. Chaos reigns, especially in the climax of the scene, which lifts this short so much higher than mere concept.
